The explanation that it was done by “a new hire” is a classic and easy scapegoat. It’s much more straight forward to believe Musk himself wanted this done, and walked it back when it was clear it was more obvious than intended.
Obviously this sort of leap to a conclusion is very different from the sort of evidence that one expects upon hearing that literal written evidence (of Musk trying to censor) exists. Given this, your comment seems remarkably unproductive.
I agree that this isn’t what I’d call “direct written evidence”; I was just (somewhat jokingly) making the point that the linked articles are Bayesian evidence that Musk tries to censor, and that the articles are pieces of text.
It is definitely evidence that was literally written
I was referring to the inference:

Ah, gotcha. Unfortunately I have rejected the concept of Bayesian evidence from my ontology and therefore must regard your claim as nonsense. Alas.
(more seriously, sorry for misinterpreting your tone, I have been getting flak from all directions for this talk so am a bit trigger-happy)
No problem, my comment was pretty unclear and I can see from the other comments why you’d be on edge!
